This should be achieved through introduction, development, and implementation of a professional American English certificate course for the faculty members and final year students of Industrial and Commercial Institute of Pemba, as well as the creation of a separate short-term training course focused on developing technical skills, that will allow underprivileged youth in Cabo Delgado to qualify for job opportunities and/or create local jobs, which contributes to boosting the economy of the Province and economic prosperity for individuals. The applicant may also create with the help of an American expert or organization a separate English for Tourism course that can be implemented into the curriculum of the Hospitality and Tourism course of the Institute. The professionals that graduate from courses at the Industrial and Commercial Institute of Pemba, are often unable to fill the staffing gaps in the oil and gas industry in province of Cabo Delgado due to lack of English Language skills. The lack of employment for graduates, leads to discontent and youth marginalization. Additionally, English language for graduates in the areas of hospitality and management will be essential to revitalize the tourism sector of Cabo Delgado, which will create jobs and further foster a future of peace and stability.
